Good Hound Country

Mark your calendars! Grooming with Jade opens March 24th at our Good Hound Village location! Jade comes to Good Hound with almost a decade of grooming experience. She also has the added benefit of working as a daycare handler at Good Hound Village for 6 months- really getting to know our daycare dogs and just what Good Hound is all about. Her kind, patient demeanor paired with her impeccable grooming skills makes her the perfect fit to head up our Good Hound Grooming program. Currently Jade is also completing her Fear Free Grooming Certification.
Meet Jade!
"My entire life, I’ve been drawn to animals. I’ve had many dogs throughout my life, but my current dog, Vonn, is my heart dog. She is the sweetest, most loyal companion I could ask for. We spend our time together earning trick titles, strengthening our bond, and having fun along the way. I also spend time volunteering, including walking a gentle giant of a Saint Bernard for a family in need. When I’m not with dogs, you’ll find me in the gym weightlifting, practicing Pilates, or flowing through yoga to stay strong and balanced, just like the dogs I work with every day.

In the summer, I take every chance to be outdoors, whether it’s camping with family or visiting my property in the interior, or just spending time in local parks with my dog.

I have always had a passion for animals, which led me to a career in pet grooming nearly nine years ago. With years of experience handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I take pride in providing quality grooming with a gentle, patient approach. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for while helping them look their best!"

What does a Reactive Dog look like? Any dog! Any size and any breed! Often we hear people say things like "oh my dog is a lab/golden retriever/doodle so they just love everyone, they cant be aggressive!" Sorry to break it to you, all dogs can be reactive, and this sentiment can be quite harmful. First, it can cause an owner to not train and socialize their dog like they should because they believe they dont have to because of their dogs breed. IE we see more large breed owners in training classes over small breed owners. Second, it can be harmful to the training of that non stereotypical reactive dog. IE many people are more likely to let their dog or kid run up to a leashed lab over a leashed mastiff.
Now, what is a reactive dog? In short, a reactive dog is a good dog having a really hard time! Most (not all) reactivity stems from fear and insecurity. Or maybe they are just a dog who only wants 2 friends instead of many. They are sweet and sensitive souls that we absolutely love. There is no greater feeling than being welcomed into a reactive dog's social circle or helping them overcome their fear.
Looking to help your reactive dog? We have Reactive dog classes starting Sept 9th! Looking to set your dog up for success? We have Puppy - Obedience classes starting the week of Sept 3rd. Register on our website www.goodhoundtraining.com
